[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9117125, member: 2209"] [URL=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/437056/A-Strange-Light-Breaks?affiliate_id=17596]A Strange Light Breaks[/URL] 5e [b]Headless John, John Addelstow, Ghost, Specter, Spirit, Angry Spirit, Angry Specter, Moaning Crybaby of a Ghost, Figure of a Man:[/b] The spirit was once John Addlestow, a Cygnaran soldier of the 95th Trencher Division. Following a campaign against the Khadoran army in a border skirmish, the soldier was separated from his unit and made his way into the Ordic city. There he remained for several months, trying to scrape together enough coins to make his way home. After a night dicing in order to earn funds, John got into a scuffle with an opponent who accused him of cheating. In the fight, John’s opponent fell back and cracked open his skull on the hearth of the tavern where they’d been playing. John’s gambling partner was a distant relative of the Mateu family, an influential trade family in Ord. The Mateu’s pushed for John’s swift execution as reprisal for the death of one of their own. John went to the executioner’s block, but the (already aging) headsman, a man named Lowen, failed to kill him cleanly. The axe fell most of the way through John’s neck, so he died bloody and slowly. His angry spirit remains, bitter about the circumstances that led to his sloppy execution.
